Description

This is the birth place for beefeater gin. In 1863 James Burrough, founder of beef eater gin bought the Chelsea Distillery from the Taylor family for In 1876-79 James experiments with gins and creates Beefeater, named after the beef eaters in the tower of London. Production of beefeater then moves to the Hutton road distillery in Lambeth. Juniper berries are the most important ingredient so they are imported from Italy, Serbia and Macedonia. The Seville orange peel is very recognisable in the gin giving it a burst of citrus. Bitter almonds are added to bring a hint of marzipan to the mix. Angelica seeds are added to bring a hop-like note to the gin, which is complemented by the lemon peel from Sicily to add a strong citrus flavour.Alcohol: 47%vol Size:1Liter.
